One person was found inside, but officials said they weren’t injured in the crash.
“I was just, ‘Crazy!’ Could’ve been a bigger plane, could’ve been whatever,” a man who lived nearby told NBC affiliate WBBH. “Just to hear a noise like that and look out, did not expect to see a plane.”
The small plane departed from the Pine Shadows Airpark in North Fort Myers. It is unknown as to what led the pilot to make the emergency landing.
“Seemed to be alright. No cuts no bruises, I said ‘Are you the pilot?’ He said ‘Yeah.’ ‘You okay?’ He said, ‘Yeah.’ I looked back a second later and he’s on his phone already calling 911, or aviation or something,” the man told WBBH.
